Out of the 11 matches they have played 7 of them have been clean sheets.
The Italian side have won all the matches they have palayed until now. They have an incredible midfield.

They have a very tight defense too. They have recovered the ball from ther opponents 178 times and have tackled the ball succesfully 22 times.
This is going to be a great match and I can’t wait to see it!
Intern Milan are in great form since Antonio Conte took over. They thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk 5-0 to progress to the final and are unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions and have lost only once since March. Antonio Conte’s side have scored at least two goals each in their last six games and have been devastating in attack. Lukaku is in great form and Inter need to win the Europa league to get the club’s legacy back on track.
Lukaku is in the best form and continues to break records in this championship.
Lukaku became the player to score in 9 successive Europa League or UEFA Cup matches, breaking the record of 8 he previously shared with Newcastle’s Alan Shearer 2005.
He is also the first player to score in 6 successive European matches for Inter.
The Spanish side defeated Inter Milan 3-2 in a thrilling final!
Sevilla are the most successful team in Europa League history:
2006
2007
2014
2015
2016
2020
Sevilla captain Jesus Navas dedicated his club’s sixth Europa League title triumph to former players Jose Antonio Reyes, killed in a car crash last year, and Antonio Puerta, who died from a heart attack in 2007.
Romelu Lukaku refused to collect his runners-up medal after Europa League final.
Feel for Lukaku - On one hand he matched a feat last achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo but on the other hand found himself on the wrong end of a crazy own-goal!
From being sacked from the Spanish national team, sacked from Real Madrid to being a winner of the Europa League.Sometimes life reserves the best after some disgrace. Congratulations to Julen Lopetegui and Sevilla for their sixth Europa League title.
